Belarusian-Russian military cooperation
There is no decision yet to allow the deployment of Russian fighter jets at a base in Belarus.
Russia will supply 32 armored personnel carriers to Belarus, under the deal signed in September.
Lukashenka tells the German government if the West wants to fight with Russia, Belarus will take the side of the eastern neighbor.
Lukashenka offers fresh comments on the plans to deploy Russian military bases on the territory of Belarus.
“It is necessary to verify the subject matter,” the Kremlin reports.
The Belarus president says he knows nothing about the deployment of a Russian airbase.
During yesterday's rally the well-known politicians, writers and artists told Euroradio how Russian planes could threaten Belarus.
Discussion of the Russian military facility continues. Opposition strongly opposes the project.
It will hurt the normalization of relations between Minsk and the EU and NATO, says Vilnius.
